Default Alexander Wang Daphne Duffel Bag
Alexander Wang has been coming out with some great handbags lately. Not only have we covered these bags here on Purse Blog Savvy but also over on Bag That Style. Celebs seem to love Alexander Wang as much as some of us do. However, I must admit, his bags are either completely amazing or completely awful. While I am usually able to make a snap decision when it comes to this bran, I can’t decide if I like this bag or not.




The Alexander Wang Daphne Duffel Bag is a unique take on a large tote. The tote is functional but the color and texture of the bag confuses me a bit. Is it denim? Is it textured? I don’t know. It is definitely a denim inspired handbag. The washed leather features banding and metal stud detailing along the front, back and bottom. The double handles are a must for a bag this large but I can’t see myself carrying any way other than just in hand. Imagine how heavy the bag would feel on your shoulder. I don’t think this bag is for day to day use but it would be nice travel option. Buy through Shopbop for $890.

It has a raggedy look to me.
